My Field Of Expertise

My field of expertise frames a large range of topics. In the last term I was spokesperson for child- and family policy and naturally this topic is very dear to my heart. In the Committee on Foreign Affairs I lay my focus mainly on the MENA-Region (Middle East and North Africa), especially on Egypt and Syria. For us Greens, Civil Crisis Prevention and Conflict Resolution is a central concern, which is why I was honored to have chaired the corresponding subcommittee in the last term of the German Bundestag.
